Due to the great demand, bo medical decided to organize two one-day courses this year. This will allow more physicians an opportunity to attend the course. The Duplex course takes place on 8 and 9 June at the bo medical head office in Ankeveen.

The course focusses on the treatment of recurrent varicose veins and the use of color duplex ultrasound (CDU). In addition, the following topics will be discussed:

Pre-treatment color duplex ultrasound (CDU)

CDU investigation after varicose vein treatments

CDU diagnosis of saphenous junction recurrence

​The course is very popular with physicians due to its interactive nature. In addition to various presentations of the two professors, doctors will get the opportunity to test the latest equipment from Esaote on different patients.

" I have been giving workshops for years, but it is great to visit bo medical. It is important that doctors are familiar with the latest CDU development. I am pleased to see that the course is fully booked.'' Said prof. Stefano Ricci.

The Duplex course is part of the bo academy week, which is held this week.
